Residents across Manitoba may notice a change in appearance when they see RCMP officers on patrol.

 

The RCMP says new navy-blue uniform shirts are being rolled out across the province.

 

The shirts are made with modern, performance-driven materials designed to help officers work more comfortably and safely.

 

During the transition period, Manitobans may see officers wearing either the new navy shirts or the traditional grey shirts.

 

 The RCMP says both remain official uniforms until the grey shirts are fully phased out.

 

The force is also reminding the public that anyone unsure about an officer’s identity can ask to see identification or contact their local detachment’s non-emergency line.

 

In an emergency, residents should continue to call 911.
